本研究检测了分离自发病大菱鲆、半滑舌鳎及鲤鱼的22株病原鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)毒力相关基因的携带情况,并建立了病原鳗弧菌的分子生物学检测方法。以PCR方法检测8个毒力相关基因的分布,结果显示,22株病原鳗弧菌均可扩增出6个基因(empA、vah1、vah4、flaA、rtxA和tonB)目的条带,未扩增出virA和angM基因;针对vah4和rtxA设计引物进行双重PCR扩增,同一PCR反应体系可扩增出两条目的条带,灵敏度为2.4×103 CFU/ml,对照菌无任何扩增条带;以vah4设计引物进行LAMP扩增,病原鳗弧菌可扩增出阶梯状条带,呈现阳性反应,6株对照菌无阶梯状扩增条带且呈现阴性反应,LAMP扩增灵敏度为2.4×101 CFU/ml。LAMP检测灵敏度是双重PCR的100倍,LAMP技术与PCR比较,操作简便、快速、灵敏度高且不需昂贵仪器,LAMP检测鳗弧菌的方法更适合于养殖生产实际应用。

半滑舌鳎(Cynoglossus semilaevis) miR-223的表达特征及免疫应答分析

microRNA(miRNA)是一类内源性、长度约为22个核苷酸的非编码小单链RNA分子,由具有发夹结构的70?90个碱基的单链RNA前体经过Dicer酶加工而成。本研究使用荧光实时定量PCR (Quantitative Real-Time PCR, qRT-PCR)方法,研究了miRNA-223(miR-223)在半滑舌鳎(Cynoglossus semilaevis)各健康组织、鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)感染后各时间点的免疫组织以及不同病原类似物刺激后头肾细胞中的表达模式。结果显示,miR-223在半滑舌鳎各组织中均有表达,在头肾中表达量最高,在脑和血液中的表达量极低。鳗弧菌感染3组样品4种免疫组织,miR-223表达变化显著,感染后20 h内,鳗弧菌诱导miR-223上调表达。鳗弧菌感染后半滑舌鳎免疫组织miR-223表达变化规律显示,鳗弧菌感染2、6、12、24、48、72、96和168 h后,miR-223在肝、肠、脾、头肾4种组织中出现差异表达。其中,miR-223在半滑舌鳎肝、脾、头肾中表达上调,在肠中表达下调。用LPS、poly I:C、PGN、RGNNV感染半滑舌鳎头肾细胞后,发现经LPS、RGNNV诱导后miR-223上调表达,poly I:C、PGN诱导后miR-223下调表达。研究结果表明,miR-223参与了半滑舌鳎免疫应答过程。本研究结果有助于了解miRNA在半滑舌鳎对病原刺激免疫应答过程中的作用以及半滑舌鳎与病原相互作用中miRNA参与调控的机制。     

Characterization and growth conditions of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains with different virulence degrees that cause acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in Litopenaeus vannamei

The phenotypic characteristics and growth kinetics at several temperatures, salinities, and pH values of three Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) strains with different virulence and one nonpathogenic strain were evaluated. Independent of the virulence of the strain, a high metabolic diversity was found, which yielded different colored phenotypes on the CHROMagar? Vibrio. All strains were resistant to ampicillin and carbenicillin, and Vp AHPND+ organisms were the most sensitive to enrofloxacin. The exponential growth of Vp strains started at 1–2 hr of incubation, although no relationship was observed between the bacterial density and degree of virulence. Moreover, the growth of the most virulent strain was independent of the nutrients in the incubation media during the initial hour postinoculation. No strain grew at 4°C in 0% NaCl and pH 4, but only Vp AHPND+ grew at 44°C. For all strains, the lag phase was proportional to the NaCl concentration, and the growth was better at pH 8–9. However, the Vp AHPND? strain displayed a greater variability, was more sensitive to extreme conditions, and showed a lag phase of 9 hr independent of the pH.

采用PCR方法,对分离于大菱鲆的30株致病性鳗弧菌进行了溶血素vah1基因、鞭毛蛋白flaA基因、金属蛋白酶empA基因及外膜蛋白ompU基因的检测,选取3个代表菌株的相应基因序列通过Blast与GenBank中公布的参考菌株进行核苷酸同源性比较分析。结果表明,所检测的30株鳗弧菌均携带vah1、flaA、empA、ompU基因,携带率为100%;所测代表菌株的vah1、flaA、empA基因同参考菌株间均具有较高的同源性（93.9%～99.9%）,而外膜蛋白ompU基因,3株代表菌间存在较大差异（86.0%～95.9%）,其中的S010610-1株与其他2株代表菌及参考菌株均存在较大差异,在进化树中单独聚为一支。3株代表菌的其他基因（vah1、flaA、empA）均具有较高的同源性（94.2%～99.5%）,但均存在一定的差异性。     

Experimental infection of Mytilus edulis by two Vibrio splendidus-related strains: Determination of pathogenicity level of strains and influence of the origin and annual cycle of mussels on their sensitivity

This study aimed at assessing the pathogenicity of two Vibrio splendidus-related species and evaluating the influence of the origin and annual life cycle of mussels on their sensitivity during a bacterial challenge. Thus, in vivo infection assays were made with Vibrio crassostreae 7T4_12 and Vibrio splendidus 3G1_6, over, respectively, thirteen and 9 months, on adult blue mussels from five recruitment areas in France. Two bacterial concentrations were tested: one consistent with the loads of Vibrio spp. in environment and mussel tissues (~10⁵ CFU/ml) and another one much higher (~10⁸ CFU/ml). The tested environmental concentration has no pathogenic effect whatever the time of year, the strain used and the origin of mussels. However, at the highest concentration, a pathogenic effect was observed only at specific moments, and one of the origins appeared to be more resistant. The physiological state of mussels—depending on the time of year—seemed significant in mussels’ sensitivity, as their recruitment origin. This study is the first to test the pathogenicity of V. splendidus-related strains at concentrations close to what is found in the wild, over the annual cycle of mussels, and considering their origin.     

霍乱弧菌TcpA蛋白的表达及其免疫活性分析

采用PCR方法从鱼源霍乱弧菌Y1株（Vibrio cholerae Y1）扩增毒素共调菌毛蛋白A(toxin-corcgulated pilin A,TcpA)基因并克隆至pMD 18-T载体.序列分析显示tcpA基因ORF长675 bp,编码224个氨基酸(GenBank登录号EU649677).同源性比对发现,该基因与GenBank中登录的7个霍乱弧菌参考株相应基因序列的核苷酸同源性和氨基酸同源性均很高,分别为99.6％～ 99.7％和98.7％～ 99.1％,表明TcpA蛋白相当保守.将tcpA基因亚克隆到表达载体pGEX-4T-1,并进行IPTG诱导表达,SDS-PAGE分析发现分子量约为47.0 kD的重组TcpA融合蛋白主要以包涵体形式表达.Western blot检测结果显示,重组TcpA融合蛋白可与鼠抗Vc Y1菌株菌毛蛋白抗血清发生特异性结合反应.用纯化的重组TcpA融合蛋白免疫草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)制备抗血清,双相免疫扩散试验检测抗体效价达1:16,且该抗血清能够明显抑制Vc Y1菌株对HEp-2细胞的黏附.草鱼免疫后第25天用Vc Y1菌株攻毒,结果相对免疫保护率达到73.33％.研究结果表明,组TcpA蛋白仍保留着天然菌毛蛋白的免疫原性、免疫反应性和免疫保护性,重组TcpA蛋白可作为霍乱弧菌的候选诊断抗原和疫苗抗原.
